What recipe-share-doc-and-notify does

The skill is a three-step recipe. It looks up a document in Google Drive by name and the application/vnd.google-apps.document type, creates a permission with the writer role for a given address, then sends an email containing the file link.

Everything runs through gws commands: gws drive files list, gws drive permissions create, gws gmail +send. The recipe itself does nothing until three skills are loaded — gws-drive, gws-docs and gws-gmail — and the gws binary has to be on the machine.

Worth installing if your team keeps documents in Google Docs and you hand out access by hand. If you work in another editor or grant access through groups, this recipe saves you little.

What it helps with

  • find a Drive document by name and MIME type
  • grant editor access to a specific address
  • email a collaborator the document link
  • hand a brief off for review in one command

Example prompts for the agent

  • Find the Project Brief doc in Google Docs and give [email protected] edit access
  • Email [email protected] the link to Project Brief
  • Share the document with writer access and notify the collaborator
